China made an impact on the global academic scene by surpassing the US for the first time in terms of contributions to highly influential international journals in 2022, a report released Wednesday showed.

Out of the 54,002 academic papers published in 159 journals across 178 disciplines last year, 16,349 papers were authored by Chinese scholars, according to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC) under the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Approximately 27% of the 350,000 high-quality publications in renowned international journals had Chinese authors as primary contributors, earning nearly 650,000 citations.

In 2022, China achieved second place in terms of the quantity of academic papers and review articles published in 16 prestigious journals with an impact factor exceeding 30 and generating more than 100,000 citations, the report said.

So you Indians only believe your western daddy's reports.

 

China beats US in top global scientific papers ranking: report​

  • The number of ‘hot papers’ – those which receive instant recognition – published by Chinese scientists has topped a global list
  • China also came first in six major disciplines on a chart tracking international citations of scientific papers

For the first time, China has surpassed the US with the number of “hot papers” published and cited in the world’s most influential journals, a new report has found.

China also ranked first on the international papers citation chart in six major disciplines – agricultural sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, materials science and mathematics. The top spot in mathematics was a new achievement compared with the previous year.

According to the Statistical Data of Chinese S&T Papers released on Wednesday by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC), Chinese researchers published 1,929 hot papers – papers which receive significant numbers of citations soon after publication, usually in a rapidly evolving field such as molecular biology and materials science – accounting for 46 per cent of the global total by July.

Meanwhile, US researchers produced 1,592 hot papers, taking second place. The US was followed by Britain, Germany and Australia, according to the data from ISTIC, which has been tracking papers published by Chinese researchers in domestic and overseas journals since 1987.

While most papers reach their citation peak two to four years after publication, some become hot and receive recognition very quickly, seeing them cited rapidly and extensively because of their importance to a field of high current interest.

Hot papers are often measured in bimonthly periods rather than years. They need to be no more than two years old and have citations among the top 0.1 per cent in their field over the past two months.

In comparison, another indicator known as highly cited papers are based on 10 years of publication data, and refer to the top 1 per cent of papers which often lead to fundamental breakthroughs in their field.

In terms of highly cited papers, the report found China remained in second place with 57,900 papers, while the US took the lead with a total of 76,600 highly cited papers. This amounted to 41 per cent of the global total.

The report also noted a significant increase in the proportion of high-quality, high-influence papers published in domestic, rather than Western, journals.

“The impact of China’s core scientific and technological journals continues to grow, and their ability to attract high-level papers has been going up steadily,” the report said.

Last year, domestic journals published nearly 42,000 research papers with regard to national major projects and key research and development programmes, covering a wide range of disciplines including clinical medicine, agriculture, environmental sciences, electronics, communications and earth sciences, the report said.
